29 October, 2000Writing in his role as Director of Environmental Programs for the Reason Public Policy Institute, Kenneth Green summarized the key skeptic attacks on the IPCC in an October 2000 briefing report. Particularly focused on ridiculing the Summary for Policy Makers, which he describes as a "derivative document" which condenses and expresses IPCC findings "in a language suitable for moderately educated readers." According to Green, the SPM consists of "speculative scenarios" not reflective of the full reports, and "has not been peer-reviewed. Its author is anonymous, the document is created independent of the actual report, and the summary is so short that issues were overly simplified."Source: Reason Public Policy Institute website (2000)
